For number six of the microscopy lab I assume: By turning the lamp off and on with the rheostat turned all the way DOWN to the lowest setting it allows for a slow ramping up of the power instead of instantaneously turning on a lamp to the highest and hottest setting.
in the membrane that covers axonsThey are located in the axon hillock, nodes of Ranvier, and presynaptic terminal of the neuron.

You would connect them in parallel to increase the amerage. If you connect them in series it would increase the voltage. Connected in series-parallel would increase both voltage and amerage.

How does the voltage measured across a dry cell ompare with the voltage drop measured across three bulbs in series?
The speed of a dc motor can be regulated by the following means:By varying the supply voltage and byUsing a variable rheostat.
A transformer. A small example is the coil in a motorcar. A transformer, in a power line, only changes voltage in one direction under normal usage. At distribution voltages, about 8360 VAC, the voltage is monitored by a regulator. A regulator either increases or decreases the voltage automatically to insure the desired voltage is steady. This regulated voltage is then fed to transformers to provide customers with a regulated voltage at the desired voltage.
No. If you attempt to reduce the voltage to a cap start motor by using a rheostat, you can destroy the motor.
It is called a rheostat, it is a variable transformer

Advantages in electric circuits : Advantages of using the rheostat in electric circuits is optional as you could just use the dial on the power-supply to vary the voltage (p.d.), and therefore the current. The advantage of using the rheostat is that you can control it to give you nice even numbers for the voltage.
The heat released by the rheostat with double the voltage will quadruple. When voltage is tripled, the power loss is 32 or 9 times that before. A rheostat is a kind of variable resistor. Since E = IR (voltage equals current times resistance), then I = E/R (current equals voltage divided by resistance). If the voltage is doubled and the resistance stays the same, then--you can see by the formula--the current would double. Now, power dissipated by a resistor is related to the product of the current and voltage (P = IE). But since a doubling of voltage produces also a doubling of current, double the current results in 2X2=4 times the power (heat) loss.

Install a rheostat in series with the motor.
For linear supplies, the straightforward answer is: THE VOLTAGE GOES DOWN. For regulated unipolar switching supplies (all bets are off), it is likely that your pulse width will increase until you are at the regulated voltage set at the chip. Not all DC supplies behave the same way.
In a DC circuit, one alternate to the rheostat for controlling battery voltage is a voltage regulator. You could build a linear regulator, but you need to consider the power that might be dissipated - this would be the same amount of power dissipated by the rheostat. You could also build a switching regulator - this would be more complex, but it could be more efficient because the dissipation across the regulator would be less.
